Canon C. Bis- hop told the congregation of Holy Trinity Anglican Church September 17 at the 11 am service. Canon Bishop was guest preacher on “Guyana Day”, a special day set aside to focus attention on the coun- try of Guyana and on the dio- cesan youth centre at George- town. the capital city. The cen- tre is one of the 1967 outreach} projects of Holy Trinity. Canon Bishop opened his ad-l‘ dress by geographically locat-t ing the small country that is situated on the northâ€"east coast of South America. Before the country achieved its independ- ence in 1966 it was known as British Guiana. The population is made up of two main racial groups, East Indian and Afri- cans. Europeans, Chinese, Portugese and Amerindians make up the rest. people over the world and it is up to the more prosperous naâ€" tions to give assistance in orâ€" der to upgrade their present standard of living. He spoke of the City of Georgetown where political and racial tensions have caused riots resulting in large areas of the city being destroyed by fire and thousands killed or in- jured. These uprisings leave scars in the form of unemploy- ment, poverty. malnutrition and disease. Indifference to moral standards is encouraged by these social evils. Canon Bishop gave an excel- lent picture of the situation in Guyana and told how the country is being helped by the Anglican World Missions and of the youth centre that Holy Trinity is helping to maintain. Mrs. Barbara Khan, a native of Guyana and now associated with the department of mis- sions, was a special guest at the service. Mrs. Khan introduced Mr. and Mrs. H. R.

Len bought five acres of land in 1943 and built his house on the property him- self with the assistance of outsiders for the larger jobs. He set his house 80 feet back from the road and started his garden fac- ing the street at that time. At the same time he planted 300 spruce trees that he de- scribed as spindley little twigs. The trees have ma- tured over 24 years and are now tall and hardy. When Len started his hobâ€" by he admits that he knew nothing about gardening, but as his enthusiasm grew so did his garden.

Part of a collection of antique horse-drawn carriages which are usually housed at Casa Loma had been brought up for the day and were parked in the driveway in front of the house although the heavy rain prevented close inspection of them. A highly successful feature of the day was the sale of hand made articles from the hospital gift boutique. Partic- ularly in demand, and completely sold out, were the attractive small pot pourri jars. Ladies of the Richvale branch of the auxiliary collected rose petals for these during the summer and they were very popular.

When the seeds have grown into little plants he transplants them two inches apart into 70 flats and by the spring he is ready to start his outdoor garden. Since Len’s retirement he spends from 8 am to 6 pm in his greenhouse at his hobby. He said it is most rewarding and something that more re- tired men should enjoy. Mrs. Townsley has a hard time getting her husband out of the basement but he certain- ly. is neVer at a loss to find things to do. The Townsleys came more costly he decided to grow them from seed himself. He invested in floral tubes and made tables that he mounted on casters to keep them on. He then bought florist bulbs to give the seedlings the artificial sunlight so necessary to grow healthy plants. The basement of his home now resembles a well equipped greenhouse. PRINTING C0.
